Language
Page 348, line 43, after "Code of Virginia."  insert:
"Notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 9.1-165 through 9.1-172, Code of Virginia, the total amount to be distributed to localities shall be $172,412,837 the first year and $172,412,837 the second year.  The amount to be distributed to each locality in each year shall be equal to the amount distributed in fiscal year 2014."

Explanation
(This amendment reinserts language which was included in previous budgets to clarify that the amounts distributed to each locality in fiscal years 2015 and 2016 shall be the same as the amounts provided in fiscal year 2014. This amendment does not change the total appropriation for state aid to localities with police forces, as contained in the introduced budget, which is $172.4 million each year from the general fund.)
